Taupiri Sunflower Farm is a two-hectare pick-your-own sunflower field on Gordonton Road near Taupiri, about an hour south of Auckland. Visitors pay entry plus a per-stem charge and are provided secateurs to cut their own flowers. The farm was established as a memorial planting and operates seasonally in summer.
Kaipaki Sunflowers is a pick-your-own sunflower field on Kaipaki Road near Ōhaupō, run by local residents Tammy-Lee Grant and Jeff Keesom. Visitors walk tree-lined rows of sunflowers, buy cut stems, and enjoy coffee and ice cream on site. A dollar from every flower sold is donated to the Gumboot Friday mental health charity.
Tahi Toa Farm's Sunflower Fields sit on the Tairua-Whitianga Road in Whenuakite on the Coromandel Peninsula. Visitors stroll rows of sunflowers, pick their own stems to take home, and picnic in the surrounding countryside during the farm's short summer bloom window.
